Has anyone out there used the module kit available from Bowler Transmission. It appears to be a very simple install and I am curious if anyone has any experience with it. The other ways of doing this are pretty easy also, but this would really make things simple if it works. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

You don't have to spend 180 bucks for one of these...:hand:

Mark - Thanks for the reply. The thing that intrigued me was the lack of a vacuum switch to downshift or unlock. I will be installing a 348 in the wagon eventually and they have a complete lack of vacuum locations to run the vacuum switch. Just curious of opinions and thinking out loud.

Thanks,
Mark

Your carb or injectors will have vacuum ports. I wouldn't let that sway me to spending a 100 bucks I don't have too... :bananna2:
